Erislandy Lara Looking Sensational In Sparring

PhilBoxing.com




LAS VEGAS (June 30, 2014) -- With less than two weeks to go until his SHOWTIME PPV? showdown with Canelo Alvarez (43-1-1, 31 KOs), WBA Super Welterweight World Champion Erislandy "The American Dream" Lara (19-1-2, 12 KOs) is looking sensational in sparring and running on all cylinders.

"My sparring partners are pushing me with numerous styles and I'm adapting to all of them comfortably," Lara said. "I told them to come extra hard to prepare me for the pressure Canelo is going to bring. I feel great and my timing is right on.

"I know Canelo is training hard for this fight, as am I, but unfortunately for him, there is nothing he can do to surprise me. He's going to find out on July 12 that I'm the superior fighter. His insecurities as a fighter will surface on fight night -- that I can guarantee."
